We want your WINE CORKS!

Recycle Brevard and Viera High School Art Department are working together again in another Make Art, Not Trash! project now reusing wine corks.

We are collecting corks in our community and are very thankful for the support of various businesses that are collecting for us and serving as a drop-off location in our community.

The first place to get on board with this project was The Green Marketplace in Cocoa. Back in December when we announced the project, they agreed in collecting corks for us. They are open Fridays and Saturdays, 10am - 5pm.

This past week, Total Wine & More of Viera joined the effort and agreed in placing a collection bin in their store by the exit door where anyone can drop off their wine corks during store open hours (normally 9am - 10pm, but check their page for the official schedule).

So you starting on January 24, 2014 we have two locations where you can drop off your wine corks: in
Cocoa, at The Green Marketplace (3910 N Cocoa Blvd, Cocoa, FL 32926 Phone: 321-536-1410), and in Viera, at Total Wine & More(2302 Harnett Drive - Melbourne, FL 32940 Phone: 321-637-9844). Corks will be used by Viera High School Art students.

Recycle Brevard

A Word from our Founder

Hi! My name is Marcia Booth. I am a mom of one and step-mom of two who lives in Brevard County and is concerned about the use of our natural resources and the effects of that on our environment in general.

Our family embraces recycling and other kinds of conservation. We enjoy, appreciate, and respect nature. We understand that everything in this universe is connected and we need to take care of our world, starting at our home and our community.

I believe in our community and in the power of different people working together toward a common goal. My hope is that this initiative helps in the journey of making the world a more sustainable place for us all to live in.

Since there's no better time to start than now, let's take this journey together and make it happen!
